Congrats to Charlton Godwin and the guys from N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries for catching this HAWG…… The fish was 56″ and the certified scale was bouncing between 74 and 75 pounds potential state record, but the coolest part is she was tagged and released to fight another day, I’m sure she was loaded with eggs as well. It’s cool to catch a fish that has probably avoided hooks and nets for over 30 years. Good job guys and hopefully the next four trips are as good as the last two!
